Jnewboy Customs ~ Custom DAK Soldiers with Pith Hats!!

Post by Jnewboy » Mon Jul 14, 2014 10:48 pm

I always liked the photos of the Germans in Africa running around with their "Pith Hats". They were iconic with the Afrika Korp but unfortunately none were ever made in 1/18 or 1/16 so I set out to make one and finally mastered one and am now making copies from my mould but I don’t have time to make them one by one for people as I am so far behind in projects so I made 4 and have color matched painted them, detail washes, decals and finally dull coated them and they are for sale with on the these figures.

Jnewboy, just wanted to say a big thank you for the four DAK soldiers with Pith hats. Great work as always and as usual your pictures don't do them justice!!
